Liverpool make £8.5million offer for striker

Liverpool have put forward an £8.5 million bid to acquire the services of Utrecht forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

The 21-year-old hitman has hit the back of the net 11 times in 17 starts for the Dutch outfit, despite the club having fallen to 10th position in the Eredivisie(Dutch League).

The Reds are also believed to have been satisfied with the striker's performance in the Europa League, during which Utrecht played two group games against the Merseysiders before crashing out of the tournament with five draws and a loss.

Now talkSPORT reports that the Reds' bid is the only one on the table at the moment, with the club set to decide over the player's future over the weekend.

Van Wolfswinkel has also been linked with moves to the Bundesliga and Serie A.
